Very sustained crux pitch, just when I thought I had nailed the crux, it just kept on going with no real rest when I needed it most. Two massive falls (around 8m) to work out what I thought was the crux, sent 3rd try. Might have been the heat of the day, but tougher fingers and buffed calves would have helped too. Glad to not have bailed on it though.

after many years in the waiting I returned to finally getting back on Deutsch wall with the intention of leading the 6c pitch after catching a friend who fell off at the bulge back in 2009. I managed to get past this section and half way through the crux before taking a huge whipper trapping my leg behind the rope!deciding that I didn't fancy a repeat fall of that size I said martin could have a go,so he top roped it to the crux and nervously finishes it,leaving me to follow up clean on second!Quite an adventure!
THE BOLTS ON PITCH 3 ARE IN GREAT CONDITION AND RELATIVELY NEW!!
